Abstract

Honeypots are computer systems that deceive cyber attackers into believing they are ordinary computer systems designed for invasion, when in fact they are primarily designed to collect data about attack methods, resulting in better protection and defense against malicious actors. As a result, developing reliability metrics for measuring the performance, strength, and effectiveness of honeypot deception is advantageous. Despite extensive and mature research on honeynet system, reliability modeling, analysis and performance prediction and evaluation, based on copula techniques for accurately testing, estimating and optimizing the overall performance of honeynet systems remain lacking. To start, a copula approach for analyzing and optimizing the performance of honeynet systems was proposed. Any honeynet system’s performance can be classified based on its availability, dependability and profit generated. As a result, the current paper sought to investigate the performance of a multistate honeynet system in terms of availability, dependability and expected profit. This paper examines two types of repairs. Type I repairs are known as general repairs and they are used to recover from a partial or nonlethal failure to a perfect state, whereas Type II repairs are known as copula repairs they are used to recover from a complete or lethal failure to a perfect state. For the sake of generality, the supplementary variable technique and Laplace transforms were used to develop the performance models that are essential to this research, such as availability, reliability, mean time to failure (MTTF), sensitivity and profit function. The models’ numerical validation was fully carried out. The results are shown in tables and figures, enabling us to draw the conclusion that Type II repair is a superior repair policy. Type II repair, according to the findings, can more accurately portray system structure and states while still allowing for efficient assessment.
